Description

Live Sky is an Astronomy app for the Star Gazer who wants to quickly look up the live coordinates (Right Ascension, Declination, Altitude and Azimuth) for planets in our Solar system, the Moon, the Sun, 110 Brightest Stars in the sky and 110 Deep Sky Objects (Messier Objects).

Easily tell which the bodies that are currently above the horizon (the ones with the green icon), or learn more information about the body by clicking on it.

You can add the bodies you most frequently observe to your favorites for easier access, and enable the Today Widget that shows you a daily summary of the Night Sky.

Please leave suggestions for features you would like to see in the comments.

Coming soon:- Locate the object in the sky by pointing your phone at it- Integration with a Weather service to give you viewing conditions
